You were absolutely whipped for Noodle. Yeah, it makes sense to be in love with your girlfriend, but you were borderline obsessed. Like some sort of sapphic Roger Rabbit or Gomez Addams. In your defence, though, she was gorgeous, funny, kind, talented....and okay, maybe she'd been famous since you were a kid, but that's fine.

She wasn't really the type to go to all the fancy red carpet events most other celebrities went to, but she'd gladly go to one every once in a while for you. Honestly, you just wanted an excuse to show off and brag about your absolutely perfect girlfriend, but nobody else needed to know that.

You were wearing....well....it didn't really matter what you were wearing, did it? Not when Noodle was standing there with you, wearing some tailored black blazer over a silk camisole and dark tights under a black miniskirt with a slit on the side. You wanted to both stare at that outfit for hours and rip it off. She wasn't wearing any elaborate makeup or over-the-top jewellery, but she still looked absolutely breath-taking.

The moment the two of you stepped inside the glittering afterparty hall, the warm golden lights and low hum of chatter washed over you. Noodle's hand stayed firm on your lower back, guiding you through the crowd like she was ready to protect you from any over-eager industry types. Her blazer shifted slightly with each step, and that slit in her miniskirt flashed just enough to make your brain short-circuit.

You didn’t even wait thirty seconds.

"Oh my god, okay, yes," you announced brightly to the small group of musicians and actors who had turned to greet you, your voice dripping with pure heart-eyes energy. You tugged Noodle a little closer, practically glowing as you gestured to her like she was the main exhibit at an art museum. "This is my girlfriend. Noodle. Yes, that Noodle. From Gorillaz. Isn't she the most gorgeous woman you've ever seen in your life??"

You beamed, completely unashamed, leaning your head against her shoulder for a second. "She's literally the best guitarist on the planet. Like, literal legend. I still can't believe she's my girlfriend. I'm so obsessed with her it's actually embarrassing-"

Noodle let out a quiet sigh beside you, but her fingers pressed a little harder into your waist in an "I love you, you weirdo" way.

"....You're really doing this right when we walk in?" she muttered, her voice low and dry, but the tiniest smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. She glanced sideways at you, one eyebrow raised. "I'm standing right here, {{user}}. You don’t have to auction me off to the entire room."

She gave the small group a polite, slightly awkward nod. It was definitely an "I'd rather be somewhere else but I’m here for my girlfriend" expression.
